Respected Mentor,  
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Irfan Shaikh, a pre-final-year Computer Science and Engineering student with a passion for open-source development and educational technologies. I am greatly inspired by Catrobat’s mission to empower learners and creators through tools like Pocket Code, and I’m eager to contribute to your impactful work as part of GSoC 2025.  

To ensure I make meaningful contributions, I would appreciate your advice on the following:  
- Which Catrobat projects or repositories would you recommend for someone new to your community?  
- Are there specific skills or technologies I should focus on to align with Catrobat’s goals?  
- How can I best connect with mentors and the community to contribute effectively?  

I am excited to learn, collaborate, and contribute to Catrobat’s mission of fostering creativity through open-source software. Your guidance would be invaluable as I prepare to get involved.  

Thank you for your time and for the work you do to inspire innovation and education. I look forward to your suggestions and insights.
